Huh?

Apparently someone has been leaving drive-by comments all over LJ that just say:

very interesting, but I don't agree with you
Idetrorce

I got one on a link at [community profile] ds_noticeboard 

Why would anyone bother to do this?  (I'm not upset about it, just confused)

So true! Hey, speaking of which, what's your favorite Watch book? I'm going to have to do some skimming so I remember how Vimes talks.

the best is probably 'Guards, Guards" but his character changes a lot in the series "night watch' is better for him as a grown character... although if you just want a quick bit the end of "the fifth elephant' when he confronts Angua's brother is excellent

(okay, that was fairly unhelpful, sorry)

No, that's helpful! I remembered that he changed a lot during the series and that's why I was asking. I have "Guards, Guards," and "Fifth Elephant" here, so that works. Not sure why I never got a copy of Night Watch--I really liked it.

what I love about Night Watch is how they tied all the little bits together, from the hard boiled egg to the sprig of heather (or whatever it was)

Oh, yeah, that was nifty. And young!Vetinari. Before he was *quite* as seamless in his plotting.

he certainly was a LOT more sneaky (and snarky) when he grew up!

*sporfles*

"Go fetch!"

Vimes in Fifth Elephant for the win :D


Sorry that was waaaaaaaaay too enigmatic even for me

OMG, I love that scene, and especialy later, when the local constable is all 'oh, you probably didn't realize what he'd do..." and Vimes says something about, 'err, yeah, you believe that if you want..."

[identity profile] mad-jaks.livejournal.com 2007-12-18 09:45 pm (UTC)(link)
That I don't remember so clearly but it certainly sounds like him :D

Vimes is so snarky, it's great!

[identity profile] mad-jaks.livejournal.com 2007-12-18 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Snarky and deadpan - he'd be right bugger to work for...

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2007-12-18 09:53 pm (UTC)(link)
better than my current bosses, at least Vimes has a sense of humor

You have to be careful where he's pointing it though ;-)

'pull the other one kid, it's got bells on it"

I loved early drunk and snarky Vimes

Ooh,do you write Discworld? Cool beans, can I friend you?

[identity profile] http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/ 2007-12-16 10:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, I haven't actually written any *yet.* I just took requests in a dialogue meme and [livejournal.com profile] donutsweeper asked for Garibaldi from Babylon 5 and Vimes.

You're welcome to friend me, though! Just to warn you, it's mostly Doctor Who obsession right now.

Who'd be obsessed with Doctor Who? *whistles innocently*

I mean, it's not like I'd write a load of fic, or post a countdown to Voyage of the Damned or anything. That would be obsessive. *grin*

Hee! After I posted that comment, I wandered over to your journal and realized that it probably wasn't a problem. *g*

Oh that was totally inspired because we were all agreeing how alike they were :D
